Dolphins SS Reshad Jones agreed to a contract restructure.

The move saves Miami $6.6 million in cap space. Jones will receive a $4.05 million signing bonus while reducing his base salary from $9.375 million to $970,000. It's not a pay cut as Jones will make the same amount of money in the end. The 30-year-old safety led Miami with 122 tackles last season. Mar 14 - 9:27 AM

Jones tweaked something working out on his own before camp kicked off. He missed a week of action and is expected to be limited in practice for a couple days. Wed, Aug 2, 2017 09:04:00 AM

Dolphins placed SS Reshad Jones on the active/NFI list.

Per the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero, Jones "tweaked something" while working out away from the team and is expected to be fine. The injury isn't related to his 2016 shoulder issue. Jones will miss the first days of training camp, but can be activated at any time. Wed, Jul 26, 2017 04:07:00 PM

Dolphins signed SS Reshad Jones to a four-year extension through 2021.

In total, it's a five-year, $60 million contract that contains $35 million guaranteed, rightfully making Jones one of the league's highest-paid safeties. Jones just turned 29 and is elite both against the run and in pass coverage. He missed the final 10 games of the season in 2016 with a torn rotator cuff, but is already back to 100 percent and should return as a difference maker in 2017. Thu, Mar 9, 2017 03:47:00 PM

The details of the surgery aren't clear, but it sounds like it was more of a clean-up procedure. Branch inked a three-year, $24 million deal last March after producing 5.5 sacks in 2016. He predictably flopped in 2017, recording just four takedowns and grading out as Pro Football Focus' seventh-worst 4-3 end out of 64 qualifiers. Branch is nothing more than a rotational piece.

Dolphins MLB Raekwon McMillan (knee) is expected to be ready for OTAs.

McMillan, the No. 54 overall pick in last year's draft, missed his entire rookie season after tearing his ACL in the preseason opener. He was expected to be the team's starting middle linebacker. Instead, Miami had to turn to washed-up Rey Maualuga and unproven Mike Hull. The two rarely saw the field, with the Dolphins instead playing Kiko Alonso and Lawrence Timmons on every snap.

Dolphins CB Tony Lippett (Achilles') is expected to be ready for OTAs.

Lippett went down in mid-August. The 2015 fifth-rounder was a 13-game starter in 2016, picking off four passes. He flashed upside but was inconsistent. Going on 26, Lippett will initially try to fight his way back as a reserve.
